AHOC BRASS MONKEY RUN TO BATHURST

Meet: Truck Rest Area past McDonalds at the M4 Service Centre West, Eastern Creek
Time: Sunday 3 June 2012 at 5.30 am for a start at 6.00am sharp

As a member of the MX-5 Club and/or an owner of a roadster you are invited to join in the fun on the2012 running of the Brass Monkey to Bathurst. Whether you chose to run with the foxes or cruise at your own pace with the hounds, do not miss this year’s running of the Brass Monkey, the biggest and best annual roadster run there is out of Sydney. The Brass Monkey is organised by the Austin Healey Owners Club on to raise money for charity on a point to point charge (ie, no stops, maps, run sheets or lead cars with only two rules “tops must be down” and “try to observe all the road rules”) over the Great Western Highway to Bathurst for breakfast.
For the past few years MX-5 Club members have been dominant in the Brass Monkey’s Order of Merit which is the iconic lead in to the MX-5 Return Run organised by the MX5 BreakFast Club (see below). In 2009 when the Brass Monkey last stopped at Bathurst, a record 33 MX-5s enjoyed the early morning dash in sub zero conditions with more MX-5s than any other marque participating in this classic event in 2009 and every year since.
Tickets & Details: The MX5 BreakFast Club & MX5 Mania are the authorised resellers for the AHOC of tickets to MX-5 community. See “More Info” in the post for the Brass Monkey in the Events Calendar at http://bit.ly/HEyrU0 for full details.

MX-5 BREAKFAST CLUB’S BRASS MONKEY RETURN RUN FROM BATHURST

Meet: Outside the Bathurst Services Club following breakfast
Time: Sunday 3 June 2012 at 10.15am for 10.30am start

If you are running the Brass Monkey in 2012, the top down and very cool cannonball run to Bathurst, and have not made plans for your drive back to Sydney, then you can join a merry band of survivors with all their appendages and sense of humour in tact on the MX5 BreakFast Club’s run back to the city. The MX-5 Return Run will go south of the Great Western Highway on quiet secluded rural roads that are selected from sections of the route used on the Central Tablelands Weekend.
The overall plan is to get onto the Bells Line of Road at Lithgow or Bell by around 1.00pm to exit the mountains before the returning day trippers are guaranteed to ruin a drive home approaching anywhere near the speed limit. The MX-5 Return Run following the Brass Monkey is an official event of the MX-5 Club of NSW.
The route will be finalised ad posted in early May after the running of the Central Tablelands Weekend in the More Info post for the Brass Monkey Run 2012 in the Events Page at http://bit.ly/HEyrU0
RSVP: no registration required but you are asked to express you intention of joining the MX-5 Return Run by placing your name on the list in this thread.

I would love to go on this run but the MGA will still be off the road.

Guess I'd better hurry up and buy an MX-5 then...

I don’t know what you will be riding on or in this year but last year I observed you behind the wheel of a white NA driving as if it was stolen with a sibling on your tail. :wink:
